I love when you do these giveaways and I find a new fun company! Love all the indigo pillows on the website..also the neutral rugs. My fiancé and I are about to move into a new house next month – def keeping ara-collective in mind for decor!

Love the NEUTRAL MAGUEY & GRAY MARIPOSA RUGS! All their products are amazing, but I truly think my favorite part of the Ara Collective are their values. Most importantly this inspiring statement “we believe every person—despite the social, economic or geographic situation they were born into—deserves the freedom to discover, to dream and to thrive.”

Wow! Love these! I have just committed to buying clothing that is ethically produced + gives back so thank you for posting this, I need all the knowledge I can get about who is providing this! I am also going to be heading to Lake Atitlán next month in Guatemala so learning about the Chinimaya Women’s Cooperative is especially interesting! Loving all the products, and swooning over the Toliman Weekender! http://ara-collective.com/product/neutral-toliman-weekender/

Can I leave a link to everything? I really love the products in beige/neutral and the product in indigo! While it’s too hard to pick a favorite, I can imagine this rug http://ara-collective.com/product/neutral-caracol-rug/ completing my living room. I already know where I’d put it! Thanks for introducing me to another new, amazing brand.

Hard to choose just one!! I am absolutely smitten with this entire new company, their products and their philosophy! I will narrow it down to this. The Aqua San Juan pillow, the Aqua Laguna Weekender and pouch, the gray Cristobal Throw, and all things indigo are all simply fabulous. But my favorite splurge piece in the entire collection would be the Neutral Toliman Weekender and matching pouch!!! http://ara-collective.com/product/neutral-toliman-weekender/ Thank you for a giveaway!!

So glad i stumbled upon this blog post. Will be moving into a new place in a months time, and I’ve been fantasising all day about ARA decor! The Blue Rey rug & Aqua Montana rugs are so beautiful! If i were to win, I’d have a hard time deciding which one! Maybe both!

There are so many great pieces from the Ara Collective and I have to say the founder has a dream job there! It looks like most of her products are from the Central American Region so I hope she’s able to expand this economic opportunity to other regions too.

This is such a fun giveaway! I’m a college student and just moved to a new apartment so Design Love Fest has definitely helped me think of cool decorating ideas as the site for this giveaway has as well. I’m a big fan of neutral patterns and rustic textures so I personally like the neutral zigzag pillows and the neutral charcoal rug. I think both of those pieces would really add something to the space and act as a central focus without being hard to match because of the color. Anyway, thanks for the giveaway opportunity and would be elated if chosen!!

I would love to win so I can buy the Aqua Laguna Weekender bag for my mom. It’s in her favorite color and I would be so happy to be able to give her a great gift. Because she’s the best! Fingers crossed!

Hi! I fell in love with Ara Collective and everything they stand for and the products are indescribably beautiful! It was too hard to pick — so I chose a few. Any of these will make our home away from home feel more warm and inviting! (Moved from Austin to Seattle just after our daughter was born 10 months ago.) Anyway, I hope you pick us! (:

First off- I love the textiles, and and even more in love with the mission of this company! It’s so beautiful empowering others and drawing out their skills and talents in order to benefit themselves, their families, and their communities. This company has a great foundation.

Beyond the products, which are beautiful, the main reason for loving Ara is that “10 % of the proceeds from this purchase are invested in artisan education, youth academic scholarships and community health Initiatives”

I first would like to say that I am in love with this company. I’ve know of other companies similar to the set up of this one but I really enjoy how Ara Collective has been able to make everything they do clear and direct. I like how they’ve done the journals from the traveling but also a section about each specific family and what goes into each item. You definitely gain a greater appreciation for each individual piece!

With that being said I really love the neutral charcoal rug, I’ve been looking for something just like it for my bedroom! As well as the indigo atitlan weekender bag and the black Chiapas throw!

Thank you Bri, for the chance to win products that have been made with love for the past, the present and the future. Beautiful artisan work and a company that cares.. Amazing! Anything from Ara Collective, would be more than welcome in our home in Paros, Greece, but if it’s blue or indigo, well that would be a bonus! Good luck!

I love all of the items, but mostly, what this company does beyond selling amazing unique pieces. I love thehttp://ara-collective.com/product/indigo-atitlan-weekender/ andhttp://ara-collective.com/product/slate-cardinal-points-pillow/

Love so many of these products! Favourites are the Indigo San Pedro Clutch, Indigo Atitlan Weekender, Grey San Christobal Throw (That I would probably end up using as a scarf / blanket cause im a lady 😉 )

I am in love with the Ara Collective ‘Indigo Atitlan Weekender’. It is perfect for weekend getaways to exotic locations. I also adore the ‘Indigo Ikat Blanket’, to be used around the outside fire on a cool night.

This Lake Atitlan is so stunning. I visited Guatemala in 2012 and met the people at Mayan Traditions with whom Ara Collective has partnered. I would love so much to have such a beautiful textile from such a beautiful place and people!

It is very important to me to know the story behind each item I bring into my home. Supporting artisans throughout the world makes the world feel that much smaller. Thank you for bringing yet another company-doing-good to my attention, Bri!

the indigo weekender is the perfect bag for me. I’m often back and forth from my boyfriend’s house and find it hard to find a bag that offers utility (need clothing options!) and fashion (a big bag in the big city that doesn’t look like I’m an actual bag lady). this weekender is both stylish and functional and I couldn’t be more excited if it’s soon on my arm!

Love this giveaway! Textiles are my fave. I’m super into the weekender bags…especially the aqua laguna color. Now let’s talk rugs… I’m enamored with the neutral maguey rug, would love to toss that in my bathroom. Last but not least, the throws are scrumptious…don’t ask me to pick!

I love everything on your website! My favourite is the indigo maiz blanket- so exquisite, i love the design, colours and most of all that this product supports mothers and children through the single mothers cooperation. xx
